no,  when it crashes, nothing I do can get it to restart.  Before you ask, it isn't a tts
issue since speech-dispatcher is still up and running.
I've been running Linux for 10 years now, so I'm not your normal stupid Windows user.
I know how to debug problems.  Like I said in my earlier post, if this were a C program
I would already have filed the bug report.  The fact you can't easily debug a Python
app is a big weakness in Orca.
I don't have enough disk space to just leav the debug options in Orca enabled either, so this
will likely be a bug that won't get resolved any time soon.
